The Colossian saints were being tempted to follow Judaism (keeping the Mosaic Law and circumcision in addition to the gospel of Jesus Christ). Paul sets out to correct their error by establishing the preeminence of Christ.

Perhaps no declaration incites more theological and moral outrage than a human's claim to be divine. Those who make this claim in ancient Jewish and Christian mythology are typically represented as the most hubristic and dangerous tyrants. Their horrible punishments are predictable and still serve as morality tales in religious communities today. But not all self-deifiers are saddled with pride and fated to fall.

Did you know that every author of the NT was a Jew (with the exception of Luke, but he was a disciple of Paul). Furthermore, the New Testament had not been compiled when letters were circulated that later became the New Testament, so the only Holy Writings available to the New Testament Jewish authors were what Christians call the Old Testament. Therefore, does it surprise you that the New Testament is steeped in Hebraic thought and contains nearly a thousand quotations and allusions from the Hebrew Scriptures?

Genre theory has experienced a renaissance in the last thirty years, but biblical studies has been left in the dark ages of rigid taxonomies and stubborn essentialism. The Bible deserves better.
